@Bryan VanAssche: Do you think the cops pay for the windows out of their pockets? Thanks for wasting my tax money.

I read many car magazines religiously for about 25 years. I still read a couple of them monthly, in addition to a few blogs. As my own level of experience with automobiles has come to exceed that of most writers, I fail to see much value or expertise. A look back at award winning cars and their lack of corresponding…
@Mike Spinelli: You're not talking about objective journalism. You're complaining about another group of people receiving your SWAG and being used to market cars instead of 'real reporters' receiving all the SWAG and being used to market cars. If you want to talk about objective journalism, develop a system for…
It is a British car, which is both why the wheel fell off and why we are looking at the driver's side.
@BoxerFanatic: A rear wheel fell off.
@Turbo60640: If Clarkson's wife didn't look like a troll, that would mean he'd married a whore.
"Matt and Alex could even take the Tesla for a spin and test it out, reaffirming its virtues?"
@tonyola: In some sense it was a dead end, as anyone at Chrysler with the brain power to design a successor was long gone by the time its run ended.
This has more to do with the level of competence and lack of integrity of journalists than it does with the 'difficulty' of working on a GM production line. Which way to the plywood cars? What a bunch of repulsive clowns. Maybe someone should give the journalists a lemonade stand to run, so they can learn how tough it…
@imajoebob: The Tesla in question is as British as any car sold. I think TG and Clarskson are about as interesting as Dancing with the Stars You Forgot are Still Alive, but Tesla would prove their rebadged Lotus with a demonstration instead of a bunch of professional liars if the BBC's test car hadn't really stopped…
@Oppo All Day: Tesla buys the cars we taxpayers lose money on from Lotus. It shouldn't come as any surprise that they can't tell the difference between a pump and a fuse or that they think lawyers are the proper champions for their products. Professional liars will probably be all Tesla has to offer when customers…
@tonyola: In 1972 Plymouth replaced the competitor in the advertisement with the Chevy Vega. Somehow I'm guessing that anyone who paid attention to the ad and bought a Duster instead of a Vega was pretty happy with their decision.
@troysherk: Of course the Swinger had a Torqueflite automatic.
@2ndGearSuperhero: The 600 and 700 evolved from the Isetta and provided the suspension design for the 1500 'New Class.' If you look at all of BMW's history, from the Austin 7 Dixi to the horrors of today, perhaps it was the Corvair-influenced surface tension styled cars with their ergonomic interiors and efficient,…
@Picarso: ???? It is the epitome of what they've been selling for the past decade.
@bozoerrebbe: It actually proved to be a harbinger of the feces to come. Kind of like the E65 was for BMW and the V6 engine was for Mercedes. They were products that stuck out like turds floating in a punch bowl when they were released, but now they're just a few turds in a giant sewer of repellent crap.
How many RWD cars are there in WRC? I think the current ones are AWD and the next ones will be FWD, but the rules dictate both choices.
I'm not voting, since there is no poll visible. Perhaps it doesn't work with Firefox, which I went to since Jalopnik 2.slow crashes my Internet Explorer. This site is crack pipe.
@Buckus: And then they miss out on the joys of repairs, warranty rejections, and depreciation that puts them upside down when they want a new car. CR is far from perfect, but 40 year olds have experience on their side when picking their sources.
